This year, Mana de San Diego held a holiday soiree that included some San Diegan women who support humanitarianism, women’s rights, and education. The event was hosted by Dr. Ynez Perezchica and the Mana Support Staff. Their goal was to bring attention to the Latino influences that are helping with these pertinent issues to improve young women’s livelihood. The event was filled by a beautiful array of appetizers and drinks in the splendid Liberty Station Area. Guests included city attorney Maura Elliot, who shared about her upbringing and the trials and triumphs of her positioning. She motivated the hermanitas and their moms to strive for success. Judge Rachel Cano and many other guests attended in support of MANA. Presidents Claudia Rempel and Venus Molina shared about MANA from its inception. Their organization has raised huge amounts of money to support countless projects like Hermanitas, Mana Legacy Luncheon, and Stem Activities. Their tireless, hard work has produced college graduates, future doctors and lawyers, and future leadership.
